Awarded Best of Zola
I booked Christen about two years before my wedding. She was so kind and understanding after I had to move my date three times due to the military. On the day of she asked a lot of questions and showed pictures of examples to make sure she knew exactly what I wanted and to make me feel beautiful. My wedding was in the North Carolina mountains where it was 90 degrees and 60% humidity. So, understandably everyone was very sweaty and hot. But throughout the whole day and after standing in the sun for an hour during the ceremony, I was not shiny, oily, or anything. I had probably every single person at my wedding tell me my makeup looked amazing and my makeup artist did so good, they couldn’t believe it honestly lol. Then at the end of the night my husband and I ran into the river with our wedding party, and guess what? Makeup was still perfect! I honestly wish I could hire Christen for every event in my life so she can make me look like that every single day.

I can’t thank Ulyana enough for making me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day!

Sabrina & team outdid themselves. Not only were they some of the friendliest people I'd met, but they knew exactly what they were doing. We sent them inspo pics and Pinterest boards, and from there, they tailored our looks based on the stuff we sent them. As a Latina woman with specific makeup requirements and thick, wavy hair, I do not trust many people with my hair and makeup. However, by the end I was in shock by how well the team met my needs. Everyone else was also super impressed by the talent! Pictures show all my excitement... 3 THANK YOU!!!
